Your next Scottish getaway isn’t just a stay, it’s a celebration.
At EmbraceScotland, we believe holidays should be more than just a break from everyday life, they should be meaningful, happy, and rooted in connection. That’s why we’re excited to launch our new summer campaign: “Stay. Celebrate. Belong.” running from July to October 2025.
This inspiring campaign brings together two powerful ideas: celebration and wellbeing. Whether you’re marking a special birthday, connecting with family, or simply taking time to recharge, a Celebreak in Scotland invites you to slow down, reconnect, and celebrate life’s moments, making memories that truly matter.
From multigenerational gatherings and romantic escapes to solo wellness retreats, we’ll show you how self-catering holidays in Scotland can turn every celebration into something unforgettable – full of happiness, freedom, and a deep sense of belonging.
“This is more than a stay. It’s a space to celebrate. A moment to belong”
What is a Celebreak?
A Celebreak is more than just a holiday, it’s an opportunity to celebrate life’s special moments with the space and freedom that only a self-catering vacation can offer. It’s designed around what matters most, blending meaningful milestones with time to rest, reflect, and reconnect.
Whether you’re:
- Planning a family get together or gathering of friends to celebrate a big birthday or anniversary
- Organising a romantic escape for a proposal, honeymoon or just because
- Taking a solo break to celebrate your own journey of healing or growth
A Celebreak gives you the freedom and comfort to celebrate on your own terms, in a place that feels like home, surrounded by Scotland’s beauty and spirit.
Self-Catering with Heart
Self-catering holidays in Scotland offer more than just a place to stay. They give you the space to truly live, where laughter rings through shared kitchens and where memories are made on leisurely walks or beneath Scotland’s dark star-studded skies.
At EmbraceScotland, you’ll discover a diverse collection of self-catering properties across the country, from the rolling hills of the Scottish Borders to the wildness of the Highlands and Islands. Whether you’re dreaming of eco-friendly lodges with spectacular views, cosy coastal cottages perfect for slow mornings and dog walks on the beach, or luxury city apartments ideal for romantic weekends, there’s a perfect space waiting for you.
By booking directly with local owners (with no booking fees), you’re not just planning a unique holiday, you’re also supporting Scotland’s communities, small businesses, and a more sustainable and affordable way to holiday in Scotland.
Make It Yours
Celebrate Together
Picture three generations under one roof for a special birthday. Long walks, shared meals, and plenty of laughter with quiet corners to relax. From toddlers to dogs to grandparents, everyone finds their happy place! Add a private caterer or book a local activity to create the perfect blend of fun and family connection.
Celebrate Love
Planning a proposal, honeymoon, or anniversary? Think romantic cottages with loch views, stargazing from a hot tub, or a luxury city apartment steps away from jazz clubs and candlelit restaurants. With self-catering you get the privacy, freedom, and space to create your own kind of magic.
Celebrate You
Sometimes, the quietest celebrations are the most important. Take time to rest and restore with a peaceful solo retreat. Think forest walks, slow breakfasts, local spa visits, and the joy of doing everything – or nothing at all.
Why Plan Now?
Don’t miss the moment
Big or small, the best celebrations don’t happen by chance, they’re thoughtfully planned and full of meaning. Whether you’re looking ahead to 2026 or just starting to dream, now is the perfect time to begin. Finding the right self-catering property, coordinating dates, and thinking through the little details can be just as much fun as the celebration itself, especially when you give yourself the time to enjoy the planning journey!

Sustainable Stays, Local Impact
At EmbraceScotland, we champion sustainable tourism through self-catering. By booking directly with local owners, staying longer, and supporting nearby businesses – from farm shops and local eateries to outdoor activities – you are helping reduce your carbon footprint and supporting local economies. Self-catering is a low-impact accommodation choice, and our community of operators are working towards eco-friendly practices, from using renewable energy to reducing waste. We also encourage all guests to enjoy Scotland responsibly by following the Scottish Outdoor Access Code. A self-catering stay isn’t just a great holiday – it’s a step towards more thoughtful, climate-conscious travel.
